Occupying the space between cinema curation, art, event production and interactive theatre Compass Presents has been creating mixed-artform events and shows since 2006. Inspired by the immersive power of cinema and the spine-tingle of live performance, we reimagine cult treasures and offer them to audiences afresh, mixing film with live elements, and to be experienced in strange locations.

From a film-and-circus mashup on the sails and rigging of a touring tall-ship; to a 90s rave in the house in which Shakespeare was born; or a playful telephone installation that connects festival goers —our work creates unique experiences and memorable encounters, cultivating an intimacy with our audiences along with our trademark dollop of fun!

Compass Presents is led by Tara, Charlie and Donna. Based in Bristol, and firmly connected to local communities, our work reaches audiences regionally, nationally and internationally.
